The appeal

The 1968 Chevrolet C10 belongs to the second generation of one of the most iconic American pick-ups. With its distinctive styling and robust mechanicals, the C10 has won a loyal following among classic American vehicle enthusiasts across Europe. Well-maintained examples still attract strong interest.

This green and white example was imported from Texas to France in 2017 and has belonged to its current owner since late 2021. During that time it has had a substantial programme of mechanical work, including the fuel system, brakes, steering box, all four shock absorbers and the gearbox output bearing. All of this work is documented with invoices.

The bodywork was repainted by the current owner, except for the bed, while the interior remains in its original configuration, unrestored. Fitted with air suspension, this C10 is an interesting proposition for enthusiasts of classic American pick-ups. Some reservations remain, however, notably regarding chassis corrosion flagged at the last contrôle technique.

✓ We require non-refundable fees to be paid if you are the successful bidder or your offer is accepted. Please refer to our FAQs and terms and conditions for specific charges.

✓ This vehicle is "sold as seen", on an "as is, where is" basis and without warranty. Photos and descriptions are provided for guidance only, and it is standard practice to carry out a full inspection of the vehicle before purchase for your own peace of mind.

✓ VAT is included in the buyer's deposit. VAT may or may not be included in the final offer or bid price, as specified in the listing.

✓ We want the transaction to go smoothly, just as you do, which is why cars and motorcycles registered in the UK and listed on Car & Classic are subject to an HPI check to confirm they carry no insurance database markers for damage or theft and are not subject to a finance charge, so you can bid with confidence.

✓ We also check whether vehicles are recorded as written off following a total loss at the time the listing is placed on Car & Classic and we provide write-off category labels (Cat C/D/S/N) to help you. However, the presence or absence of a label does not guarantee the vehicle's status, and it is always worthwhile to carry out a full vehicle history check before making an offer on it.

✓ Buyers are responsible for collecting or arranging delivery of the vehicle. Importing vehicles may incur additional customs duties and import taxes. If you wish, we can recommend a third-party transport company that can help. For more details and to speak to the team, email auctions@carandclassic.com.
